Psalms 124

1 If God hadn't been for us - all together now, Israel, sing out! -

1 If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—

2 If God hadn't been for us when everyone went against us,

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,

3 We would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger,

3 they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;

4 Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent;

4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

5 We would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water.

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Oh, blessed be God! He didn't go off and leave us. He didn't abandon us defenseless, helpless as a rabbit in a pack of snarling dogs.

6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

7 We've flown free from their fangs, free of their traps, free as a bird. Their grip is broken; we're free as a bird in flight.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

8 God's strong name is our help, the same God who made heaven and earth.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
